#HangoutsOnAir #HOAtips #CommunityCenteredHOA #CommunityTips

*Every Friday @ 8pm West Coast Time*
*Remember folks, this Hang Out On Air is open to everyone. You are all welcome to come and go as you please. There is no set format. I am working hard so anyone can come in, and have fun. Maybe say what is on their mind ect. This is a whole new concept for the HOA
Thanks to everyone who is checking this out, and or is coming on. Though this is pretty much a newer HOA. The concept behind it has been around for a long time. A no stress, very free flowing appreciation of people who love to play music in any form or style. And if you are new to Hang Outs On Air? You could not ask for a better group with more patience*
If anyone is wondering what this is? This is an HOA jam for musicians. There is no set format. This is a blank canvas. No one is running the show, not even me. The only rule is respect for the creative process.

You know I spend most of my time on Google+, right?
Well, increasingly I've been valuing the role of using Twitter alongside - the cross platform connections make a huge difference to building relationships.
So, I thought you all may like to dig a little deeper and there is no one better to ask in than @108947920975167979671 on this one as he is just bringing out a new edition to his book. He has a solid business view of social as well.
So, hope to see you on Wednesday; and we will be taking questions so please ask away!
About the book:
The book was initially created to solve a problem. The most common question am I asked is, "Can you help me understand Twitter?" That is just not something that can be addressed over a cup of coffee! So I wrote this book, first to help my students, but it caught on has loyal fans all around the world. The Tao of Twitter teaches you the practical MINDSET for success, not just a bunch of theoretical or technical suggestions. If you follow the strategy in the book, I know it can work for you because I have seen it impact hundreds of lives.
The Tao of Twitter is beyond a book. It's a movement. Welcome to a global community that is unleashing the power of this amazing communication platform to connect to the world and drive new business benefits in wonderful and unexpected ways!

*Expand to read the story and learn how to join live!*
Three years ago to the day, I stood in front of my computer - a guitar in my hands, songs in my heart, fingers trembling - about to press a button that said, "Hangout". I was still waterlogged with rainy nights of lugging my amps into tiny clubs and tears from the not-knowing-what-would-happen to my dreams.
That night, when I hit "Hangout" you saved my dreams, you saved me. Your faces popped in. We sang all night. Six hours later my heart was six million times bigger and I would never be the same. Every year I want to celebrate that day. I want to thank you face to face. I want to meet back at our special place and sing your praises. It's time for Hangoutiversary III.
*PLEASE, BE CELEBRATED*
So please, meet me on July 16th. Right here, inside the place where we had our virtual first date. Comment back and let me know that you're planning to come, I will organize special circles of you all, so we can rotate the 10 seats and meet and meet and meet again.
I'll sing our songs of celebration. I'll sing new songs of adoration, to you and this crazy world that gives us a chance just when we think maybe it can't. Come with your hopes and your dreams to be amplified and your updates and your friends and families and fantasies. Let's sing 'til our throats go weak and dance in front of computer screens, like the silly beautiful people we know ourselves to be.

*The Power of Visual Storytelling.*
Do you know Ekaterina Walter? Well, seeing as we've been having a very visual time lately, you will love to hear her talk about visual storytelling.
You know how people love pictures, right? Well, personal branding through to large corporate campaigns can be transformed with the visually compelling components.
Intrigued? Well, let me take you on a journey as I ask expert and buddy of mine @116774709566587280072 to explain how we can all tell our story even better. See you all then!
*About her book...*
Attention is the new commodity. Visual Storytelling is the new currency.
Human brain processes visuals 60,000x faster than text.
Web posts with visuals drive up to 180% more engagement than those without.
Viewers spend 100% more time on web pages with videos.
Filled with full-color images and thought-provoking examples from leading companies, The Power of Visual Storytelling explains how to grow your business and strengthen your brand by leveraging photos, videos, infographics, presentations, and other rich media. The book delivers a powerful road map for getting started, while inspiring new levels of creativity within organizations of all types and sizes.
“This book is not only a complete overview of [visual storytelling] but, most importantly, the key to doing it right, a total Right Hook!”
—Gary Vaynerchuk, New York Times bestselling author of Crush It! and Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook
“A valuable guide to understanding how to develop powerful marketing programs using the art of visual storytelling.”
—Guy Kawasaki, author of APE: Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur and former chief evangelist of Apple
“The Power of Visual Storytelling is the new marketing bible!”
—Nancy Bhagat, Vice President, Global Marketing Strategy and Campaigns, Intel
“If a picture is worth a thousand words, The Power of Visual Storytelling is worth a million.”
—Scott Monty, Global Digital & Multimedia Communications for Ford Motor Company

*"Let's get visual on Google+" with Guy Kawasaki and Peg Fitzpatrick!*
A exploration of which images seem to fly on here, what design principles can we apply when creating content, and what did we learn from using canva.com to create our content.
Thank you to @104858643838035519891 and @112374836634096795698 for agreeing to be a part of it. And a BIG thank you, as always, to all the community members who are a part of the sharing on Tuesday 6th May.

This week I'll interview @115415882981569471878.
Barry loves me; in fact, Barry loves me so much he called me a knucklehead earlier. Yes, that much.
But here is the thing, that is Barry, it expresses who he is - an energetic, straight talking, 'from the hip shoot' King of personal branding.
And that is what I want to show you. Not just 'go read his stuff', but to show you how to infuse your personality into everything you do online.
I'll be learning too, of course.
p.s. I met Barry at the Social Media Marketing World conference, and he is starting to 'get' Google+, and maybe even fall in love with it as well.
So, please join me, to shake out your branding cobwebs, get fresh, and be inspired this Wednesday!

How to Google Plus Your Business with Martin Shervington | Content Warfare TV

*Hope Carey is a friend of mine, and a music lover. She has always expressed a connection with the Indie Artist on G+ .. And too my point. I think she is a kind soul, and deserves more than the hand she has been dealt. You see, Hope Carey is undergoing surgery on 3/26/14. Oddly enough on a day, I am playing another show online. But what I'm about to say next will only make me more passionate about everything I am doing.
There is a chance that this might be the last time Hope Carey gets to hear the music she loves so much live, here on G+ HOA. I do not know how much of a role I play in what she enjoys about that element. But that is what this EVENT is about. I plan on playing as many of my songs as I can as an attempt to lift her spirits. I want to do everything I can to make sure she goes into the Hospital knowing the musicians she enjoys so much? Well, we enjoy you back, Hope Carey.
I plan on doing this show by myself, unless other artist step forward. If you are an Artist, more so Indie? Please let me know if you want to join this HOA. We wish you the best, Hope! And if I have to do it myself. I will play the strings til my fingers bleed if it helps you. Thanks all for your time and reading this. I will see you at the Hang Out. I will be playing my Stratocaster, so I can go into those empathic areas that I hope will heal*
Sorry for the short notice all, but the date she goes into the Hospital is very soon. Again, Thank You All. - Jason West Jones

*Who wants to join me as I interview Jay Baer about his New York Times best selling business book?*
We will be talking about the attitude/culture/approach of 'helping', including how Jay finds the culture on Google+; where he thinks we should be putting our attention right now, and where it is going in the future.
Whether you are a business or an individual looking at your own approach, this should be a lot of fun and give you new insights too!
*What is 'Youtility' all about?*
Jay says..."The difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But those two letters are critically important to your company’s success.
You’re not competing for attention only against other, similar products. You’re competing for attention against everything. To win in this hyper-competitive environment, you must ask “How can we help?”
If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life. This is Youtility."
Sound good? See you then!

Well, one of the incredible things about Google+ is how hangouts enable people to connect.
I've just been hanging out with @115053167331986298823 - he was just featured on Good Morning America, and now we will hangout for an interview and a little music tomorrow.
More here: http://www.inquisitr.com/1143827/kelvin-jones-british-college-student-goes-viral-with-song-call-you-home/
Amazing way to connect. And he is a Brit!
Will you join us?
You can say you knew him before the world finds out he is AWESOME.

Hangout with Kelvin Jones! (just been featured on Good Morning America).

*Learn How to Start a HOA (Hangout on Air) best practices mid-Feb '14*
_It is no secret that things change a lot here on Google Plus... come learn the latest suggested way to start up a Live HOA Broadcast._
This live training event will take you step-by-step through the process for setting up and starting your own Hangout on Air (HOA) using Google Plus and the Hangouts Menu.
There are other ways as well, but this one is the way that Google is wanting us to use, so I'll treat it as the 'best way' to start things up for now. Things have recently changed to make this method better than it was before for marketing your HOA Event.
This training event will go through the steps you'll need to take to get going and after the slides have been shown there will be some time for Q&A. *Invite your friends* and leave questions in the comments for us to address... _we'll get to them if they relate to the Hangouts menu method we'll be covering here._

*Ready for another SearchPlunkity, fun game show style HOA?*
Well, let's see how we roll this time.
There were moments of utter genius from the contestants in the last event, and you are welcome to sit back and watch, enjoy.
Quick background:
This is all about finding patterns, and having fun with Search.
I will ask the contestants, and you watching too, whether you can spot which combinations of words will 'stay number one' and if they don't, well you get SearchPlunked!
It is a lot of community based fun, so I hope you can join us then!

Well, I have arrived in SF but only seen a few people from Google+ so far, including +George Cohn +Marilyn Ritter and +Jörg-Peter Rabanus.
As such, I am putting this event 'out there' now as it would be great to meet up with some more people before I head to San Diego in March.
I know, I know that is ages away but time is running at a pace these days.
So...
The location will be as shown above (on Mission) and people can stay as long/short as they want. Also, I am planning we go somewhere near the water :D
Hope to see you then.
_p.s. HIRL means 'hangout in real life' - it is a G+ thing..._﻿

Well, now I've had the experience of this virtual reality headset I would like to revisit and review with @101477866356937362560 (who gave me the demo) and @110662267657699806914 (if he is about!)

Should be a bit of fun too :D
See you then!

I will be chatting with Oculus Rift developer Robert Klados about this interface into a virtual reality world that looks like it 'feels real'
Then, when I am in San Francisco, I will be booking in for a trial myself - _gulp._
Check out some people's reactions here:

So, are you around on Sunday? Well, I'll just post the link to the hangout and we can roll from there. p.s. it won't be on-air, so you can turn up in a santa costume, your pj's or having had a few too many eggnogs. Hope to see you then, Martin

Live and interactive, this global event celebrates the best in short cinema from around the world and allows the audience to attend a world class film festival from the comforts of their own home.
The future of film festivals is finally here.

*The event:*
This week we have a special treat in store. I will be joined by best-selling author David Carter to discuss his book 'Breakthrough' and how we can apply his approach in every day life.
I've hungout with David and he is awesome. Really. And his very select client list is second to none.
But this is all about you...
David says, "I believe that the purpose of life is being and becoming the very best version of ourselves. Every day we face dozens of choices. We must ask ourselves, “Which choice will help me become the very best version of myself that I can possibly be?” Understanding this simple truth, and committing to it, is what separates the best from the rest."
So, join me this Wednesday, welcome David to Google+, and I am sure there will be personal and business applications throughout this session.
Also...
*A freebie:*
Here is a free PDF from David to get you ready for the event:
http://martinsherv.com/8
*About the book:*
BREAKTHROUGH is a practical guide to personal mastery by David C. M. Carter, who is widely regarded as the world's leading mentor. It reveals his Top 20 most effective BREAKTHROUGH ideas - previously only accessible to his select handful of exclusive international clients. The message and intent of THE MENTOR in BREAKTHROUGH is simply this - that you choose to become the very best version of yourself - and keep on choosing it - no matter what. With simple, easy-to-action BREAKTHROUGHs outlined in each chapter, complete with 'how-to' tools - you'll no longer have any excuses to live anything less than the life you were destined to live!

See you then!

Join me for what may well be a lot of fun as I interview Waylon. We've hungout before and I know you will like his style, especially if you are running around 'clicking lots of buttons' online!
A bit about this dear fellow...
+Waylon Lewis is quite new to Google+ but is keen to get involved with us all. He calls himself a “Dharma Brat,” or second generation American Buddhist, and is founder of elephantjournal.com (5.5 million readers/month) and host of the Top 10 US Green Video Series “Walk the Talk Show with Waylon Lewis,” he’s interviewed hundreds of leading thinkers and doers. Named Treehugger’s Eco Ambassador & Changemaker, Discovery Network’s “Green Hero,” “Prominent Buddhist” by Shambhala Sun (!), Greatist’s 100 Influential People in Health & Fitness, & 5280′s Top Denver Single, Waylon is a mediocre climber, lazy yogi & 365-day bicycle commuter. Sounds interesting? Well, we hope to see you all then!

"Busyness is lazyness" - what the heck does that mean and what can we do about it?!

The show will take place at 10:30 AM ET (Boston time) on Wednesday November 20th (this is a change in days for The Digital Marketing Excellence Show this one time only due to other schedule conflicts with the speakers)!

*How to Manage Multiple Networks*
READ THE FULL BLOG HERE http://jtw.bz/PegBlog
You have your business strategy, you've defined your product, now it's time for marketing.
Last interview we spoke to Ronnie Bincer about video for marketing, this week were going to look at Social Media Marketing.
There are hundreds of article that start with "11 ways to improve your [fill in the blank] marketing" where [blank] is Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, Twitter, and so on.
But, "which networks are best for your business?" and "Will you be able to manage more than one?"
That's why we've invited Social Media Marketing Expert @104858643838035519891 to the program this week. And Peg's going to help us understand which questions we need to be asking ourselves even before we get started with social media.
Of course if you're listening to this video, you are already on social media. So the next question is, "How's it working for you?" is your social media strategy meeting your marketing goals? If yes, this is not the interview for you. But if your not reaching your goals, maybe it's time to step back, reassess, and go back to the planning board and start over.
Peg will answer questions like:
⇒ Which Network is best for my business and why?
⇒ How many networks do I need to be on?
⇒ How many networks are too many?
⇒ Which tools can I use to manage multiple networks?
We will be taking your questions on this event, start asking on the event comments.
Be sure to subscribe to YouTube http://bit.ly/u2beWS
We will also be chatting on Twitter using the hashtag #OnTrackTips
and Facebook App http://jtw.bz/FBonTrack
Most importantly, please share this with a friend and send them to http://ontracktips.com so they can also learn from the experts.

Well, you probably know we are doing Movember but what you may not have realised is that we are going to keep you informed of every bristle along the way. Yes we are.
So, please join us tomorrow for some laughs and awareness raising for the great causes of Movember.

I will be picking +Mike Allton and +Ana Hoffman's brains on how they do what they do so well!
So, tune in if you want to build up an actionable list of points to make a big difference to your own website.
It won't matter if you are blogging about shoes, creating videos on origami, being a social media maven, or just looking to connect more people to your great ideas - tune in and there will be something for you all!
Mike loves to help small businesses and organizations that are interested in using the Internet more effectively - www.TheSocialMediaHat.com
Ana runs www.trafficgenerationcafe.com who, in six quick months, her blog grew to be an authority on traffic generation. Her blog’s traffic (it was ranked under 15K on Alexa), reader engagement, and sales showed you that I was on the right track.
And we will ask them both about how they get great results, and how you can to!

When it comes intelligence, let's face it, Moms know their stuff. And none more so than Kimberley Blaine - my guest for a show this coming Sunday!
We decided we would get together and be intelligently social for around 30 minutes.
"What will you get if you 'tune in'?" I hear you cry.
Well, Kimberley is the the executive producer of mental health webseries, www.TheGoToMom.TV and a very positive and uplifting influence in the Plus - with a good sense of humor too (I missed the 'u' out to make my American friends feel comfortable!). So it should be really fun one!
See you then, Martin

Message +Jeffrey Hellman for more information and/or suggestions. Anyone can invite others.

I am really excited to be interviewing +Marques Brownlee this Wednesday.
It was great to read when +Vic Gundotra said he "is the best technology reviewer on the planet right now" and I know many people will nod their heads in agreement. As such I contacted Marques and asked if I could ask him a few questions about how he has used YouTube (which I know he loves) and Google+ to help him become the best. Oh, and I may even get a chance to see how he is getting on with Google Glass as well...
This is one event you won't want to miss!

Marisa Peer has just joined Google Plus and I thought I'd ask if she would do an interview for the Plus Your Life! community. She said 'YES'.
So, this Wednesday we will talk, well, all about confidence. And no better to ask than Marisa as she is the author of 'Ultimate Confidence', with rave reviews and numerous television programs, radio shows and magazine articles.
Marisa has also featured on weight loss shows for the UK's Channel 4 and ITV. She was the most successful weight loss therapist on the Channel 4 show Supersize vs. Superskinny.
Background:
Marisa is recognised as one of the very best therapists worldwide because of her individual approach that always gets results. She has spent over twenty five years working with patients and during this time developed her own unique “transforming therapy”.
Initially specialising in eating disorders and weight related problems, she went on to work in television. She has an extensive client list including actors, rock stars, musicians, media personalities, Olympic athletes and even royalty.
After university Marisa went into the fitness industry and became a fitness expert in London and Los Angeles. She also studied diet, nutrition and eating disorders whilst training in hypnotherapy. Marisa set up a practice in Los Angeles specialising in anorexia and bulimia before returning to London to build a practice in the UK.

What is it all about?
The leadORS indicator gives you insight into your own communication style and the journey you need to lead to conduct effective "online conversations" personally, and within your organisation.
Why is this important in business today?
Attracting and engaging with customers, leading and retaining staff and staying ahead of the competition is of paramount importance for today’s business leaders. The leadORS indicator provides a solution to these challenges by understanding your communication style and helping you to transform business thinking through social engagement and digital citizenship. Sound good?
What do you before the hangout?
Well, it take about a minute to complete the questionnaire here: http://www.leadors.co
I've done it. I am a 'Scout'
The indicator will…
• Identify your preferred communication style online
• Take you on a journey to become Open, Random, Supportive (ORS), the most effective way to behave on the internet
• Identify simple steps to build your profile and communicate effectively online
• Show you how you can interact with communities online
• Review your team styles and identify typical brand advocates
• Build your business brand online and stand out ahead of the competition
Once we are rolling I will give you some more information on it all as well.

*Join us Today as we chat with Tim McDonald about Social Media, Community Management and New Media NewsCasting on the HuffPost LIVE*
Undoubtedly, Social Media has changed the way that the world communicates. Today, News is Immediately broadcast via Twitter and every smartphone user can be a "citizen journalist".

HuffPost LIVE is even more ground breaking. Daily, a series of online newscasts are produced with relevant topics in all areas of interest including: politics, world news, entertainment, technology, business and more. What makes these news segments revolutionary is the conversational nature of the news stories.

*Dear Googleverse!*
Could I interest you in a hangout for an hour to discuss how people can stop making noise as writers and start making an impact?
Well, if the answer is 'YES' then get yourself ready for what promises to be a high impact event with best-selling author +Chris Brogan!
In a 30 minute interview, he will look at how to apply 'The Impact Equation' for bloggers, authors and writers in general. And even if that _doesn't sound like you,_ be assured, I've read the book and know you will it will help shift you from _making noise_ to making a huge difference with your online activities.
Sound good?
*Next steps:*
Click 'YES' and see you there!
*What else?*
This is the third session I am putting on for writers, all kicked off by +Guy Kawasaki and +Shawn Welch. Hopefully you will be find the enthusiasm you need to get writing, keep writing and bring your book out in a way that truly works.

Chris Brogan interview - how we can all make a greater IMPACT social media.

*Why?*
Well, as part of the 'Plus Your Life!' community, I guess it will be to find out what the _beep_ you want to do with your life!
*Who?*
Our presenter is genius, comedian Chris Tabish who is a Silicon Valley Professional whose career has been dedicated to transformation, ranging from technical projects to multi-million dollar business initiatives.
His passion for visioning developed as a result of seeing so many engagements succeed or fail as a result of this one critical factor. Chris observed that the concepts and methodology are applicable across the board and therefore continually shares with a portfolio of clients ranging from individuals to Fortune 500 Companies. And he is seriously funny!

Have you ever asked a question to someone in space? No? Well now’s your chance. In a first for the agency, NASA will host a Google+ Hangout live with the International Space Station on Feb. 22 from 10:30 a.m EST to 11:30 a.m. EST. Google+ Hangouts allow people to chat face-to-face while thousands more can tune in to watch the conversation live on Google+ or YouTube. This unique opportunity will connect you, our fans, with astronauts living and working on the orbiting laboratory 240 miles above the Earth.
During the event, several video questions will be selected and answered by astronauts on the space station and on the ground. Additionally, NASA will ask real-time questions submitted by our followers on Google+, Twitter, and Facebook.
Unique and original questions are more likely to be selected. You can view the Hangout live on the NASA Google+ page or the NASA Television YouTube channel to watch the astronauts answer the questions.
SUBMITTING REAL-TIME QUESTIONS
To ask a real-time question during the event on Google+ or Twitter, please use the hashtag #askAstro. You can also post a comment on a thread on NASA’s Facebook page that will open for questions on the morning of the event.
WATCHING THE GOOGLE+ HANGOUT
To join the hangout, and for updates and opportunities to participate in upcoming hangouts, visit NASA's Google+ page at http://plus.google.com/+NASA.
During the hangout, astronauts Kevin Ford, Chris Hadfield and Tom Marshburn will answer questions and provide insights about life aboard the station. Station crews conduct a variety of science experiments and perform station maintenance during their six-month stay on the outpost. Their life aboard the station in near-weightlessness requires unique approaches to everyday activities such as eating, sleeping and exercising.

*This weekend:*
Don't miss this opportunity to learn more about iMA and how it can help you understand the differences in people, communicate and connect with them on their wavelength.
*The principles:*
Realise that although that every person is as unique as her/his thumbprint, each person has a Comfort Zone (iMA high colour) that is positioned within a systematic, predictable framework.
Recognise that your iMA high colour influences what you want, need, and expect from yourself and others.
People will tell you their iMA high colour if you know what to listen and look for.
Each of the 4 iMA high colours speaks and understands a different dialect. Every person speaks one dialect naturally, in which they feel the most comfortable giving and receiving information.
Respond to people in her/his iMA high dialect and you will reduce tension and increase communication, co-operation and trust.
*About James Knight:*
James, the creator of iMA, is brilliantly enthusiastic and dedicated to personal growth and development. He will create energy in the hangout, adding humour to the presentations, and sharing information and tools necessary to make positive changes in your life.
*Sound interesting?*
Well, join us for the on-air event and learn more about yourself and others.

*When?*
We will start the hangouts in the morning (European time) and then continue to flow them throughout the day. Just to mention a few people getting involved...
+Shefali Burns will kick start about 9.30am CST and +Rosie Battista and +Ande Lyons will get some hangouts rolling 1pm EST.
Lots more people will open up hangouts and invite their circles as well, so it should be fun.
*How:*
We will post the hangout links on this event's comment thread and sent out invites as well. Simple.
*What else?*
Wherever you are in the world, we should well have some hangouts going that will work for you. Say 'yes' and we will see you then!

Well, the 5th of October 2012 is the day you won't want to miss!
To celebrate the anniversary of James Bond how about we post some iconic images, some favourite quotes and maybe even have a themed hangout or two.
We could go for favourite gadgets in one, most thrilling chases in another and maybe even have one dedicated to celebration of Pussy Galore?!
Honour Blackman would be delighted.
